Size wise, that is to a PC what ENIAC was to a VAX (RIP Gordon Bell). (Take that whippersnappers!)

Do you still have one of those long needles used to move decks of punch cards?

I remember going to the Star theater on Park Street in Hartford and seeing a double feature with a cartoon and news reel before the first movie. My sister, brother and I could go to the movies for under a dollar.

Same for the Lenox Theater on Albany Ave. and yo yo competitions before the movies.

I went to the Strand theater, across from G. Fox
 
I don't remember BlackJack gum. Was Butch Wax in an orange tin? If so, I might have one floating around somewhere. For the old NJ people, was there a Service Merchandising store in or near Montvale NJ? One of everything was on display. If you wanted to buy it, you filled out a form and gave it to a worker who went in back and got it for you. Now in high crime areas this is making a comeback. History repeating... Sadly, I remember everything else.

Remember the Outer Limits? We control the vertical! Ha, ask a kid what the vertical is.
 
On this site, I have to mention: Girl's Half Court Basketball: 3 players from each team on both sides of the court. No one could cross the half court line........This stopped in 1971.
 
Gee our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days. (I'm not that old.) By the way you guys got the "Teaberry Shuffle" running through my head. Thanks.

Remember the Soupy Shuffle? Office Joe Bolton and the 3 Stooges? Dark Shadows?

You forgot one:

For the record, I saw these as reruns years later!

This I don't remember. The fact that it's in color says to me it's way too new. How about "Crusader Rabbit"? If memory serves me correctly, that was in black and white. I believe Crusader Rabbit (and Rags the tiger) was the precursor for Rocky and Bullwinkle.

"Speed Racer", which was newer, was a Japanese anime decades before that became a thing with my kids.

I had to count again. I got 5, so almost in the "getting there" category, but at least I know what several of the others are. I think a true whipper snapper would get zero and have no clue what any of these things are.

Be quiet. The adults are talking.;)

How many of you have ever ridden in a rumble seat or stood on a running board?

I must admit I do not remember Black Jack gum. But then I did not pay any attention to the brand except to the double bubble kids commercial. How about the small coke bottles you bought out of the machine for 5 cents. Or how many of you ever had a Winky Dink set? I did not care for Howdy Doody. He looked too weird ( kind of the Chucky of his era ) and Clarabell and Mr Bluster were just too bazear for my taste. The same went for Pinky Lee who was just plum crazy.

Who ever remembers talking through cans connected by string?

I remember Butch Wax as being a roll on product, smaller than deodorant roll on and light bluish in color. Although it was hard to maintain that stick up front of the crew cut in winter. Got swished by my "tossle cap". That's a wool cap with a ball on top for all you non-Yinzers.

I agree with your thoughts about Howdy Duty. However, I did have a crush on Princess Summerfall Winterspring.
No rumble seat for me, but I do remember sitting on a jump seat in the back of a Checker Cab in NYC
